There are other foods besides milk and cream liable to contamination, the sale of which is not controlled in any way. Thus as we have seen, while a consumptive may be prohibited from selling milk, he may sell ice-cream without let or hindrance. And furthermore, an ice-cream cone or “snow-ball,” handled by dirty, germ-laden fingers, is most often sold to the most susceptible of all customers—the child. =Lunch Rooms and Eating-Houses.= Many patients earn their living by keeping eating-houses, oyster-parlours, ice-cream saloons, and so forth. There is danger to the customer whenever the cooking and serving of food are done by a consumptive, or by those in contact with a consumptive. A community to be well protected should enact comprehensive legislation controlling every aspect of the food supply, and special emphasis should be laid upon the handling of food by those with a transmissible disease. =Laundry Work.= Another home occupation is laundry work—unskilled labour requiring no capital and largely resorted to, especially among negroes. This is heavy work, hence not always done by the patient, but often by some other member of the household. Whether the patient irons the clean clothes or sits coughing in the same room where this is done (we have often seen newly ironed clothes spread upon the bed of a last-stage case), the result is much the same. Under such circumstances clothes become contaminated. Since this sort of laundry work is usually done for regular customers, they week after week wear clothing that has come from an infected house. It is dangerous to sleep constantly on pillow cases that have been coughed on by a consumptive, and to use towels and napkins that have been subjected to a like infection. Since there are no laws to govern conditions of this sort, the question arises, what is the nurse to do in such a case? Must she look on and say nothing, or must she warn those for whom this laundry work is being done? It would be futile to argue with the patient’s family—they would refuse to recognize the danger to others, seeing instead the financial loss from giving up the work. The nurse must first try to remove the patient to a hospital, thus doing away entirely with the danger. Failing in this (through lack of hospital facilities), the family may be willing to give up the work on condition that an income be substituted by some charitable agency. Simple as the latter course may seem, so many obstacles to procuring this aid will arise, that it offers no practical solution of the matter. If the home surroundings cannot be altered and the danger reduced, then the patrons or customers should be told of the conditions under which their laundry work is done. It is not always possible, however, to locate these customers, since the patient is very wary of giving information upon this subject. Whenever possible, nevertheless, they should be told; if they prefer to continue the risk, they are at least not in ignorance of it.
